Transgalactica revives a classic with modern twist on "Danse Macabre" music video

The new music video from Transgalactica, "Danse Macabre," is an innovative and irreverent reinterpretation of the classical, an art rock crossover that moves smoothly between mind and heart. Inspired by the 19th-century work by Camille Saint-Saëns, the band puts its own spin on the piece, turning it into a modern meditation about how we look at our world and ourselves.

"Danse Macabre" embraces a lush classical aesthetic that includes synthesizers, atmospheric textures, and rumblings. The end product is a beautiful waltz that challenges the parameters of prog-rock meets classical sophistication. Transgalactica draws on the psychologist Steven Pinker's speeches and books about logical fallacies and cognitive biases, those mental snags that render humans blind to progress and too pessimistic about the present. 

On "Danse Macabre," Transgalactica not only successfully fuses a classical aesthetic with deep intellectualism and avant-garde experimentation, but also makes it sound timeless and of-the-moment. It is an invitation to think, to question, and to dance through the chaos of existence with eyes open.
